Good morning,
It is a new day!
Righteousness is a common theme in the reading.
We quickly learn what wicked people do as well as what righteous people do.
It is like night and day.
A solid definition could be.......
Psalms 11
Amplified Bible
to the Chief Musician or Choir Leader (a psalm) of David
1. In the Lord I take refuge [and put my trust]; how can you say to me, Flee like a bird to your mountain?
2. For see, the wicked are bending like a bow; they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they [furtively] in darkness may shoot at the upright in heart.
3. If the foundations are destroyed, what can the [unyieldingly] righteous do, or what has he [the Righteous One] wrought or accomplished?
4. The Lord is in his holy temple; the Lord's throne is in heaven. His eyes behold; his eyelids test and prove the children of men.
5. The Lord tests and proves the [unyieldingly] righteous, but his soul abhors the wicked and him who loves violence. (James 1:12).
6. Upon the wicked He will rain quick burning coals or snares; fire, brimstone, and a [dreadful] scorching wind shall be the portion of their cup.
7. For the Lord is [rigidly] righteous, He loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face, or he beholds the upright.
The wicked & The righteous
We quickly discover that the wicked are always doing something against the righteous. On a personal level wicked actions is not worth it. No person is worth going to hell over. Don't live life shooting all day at other people because God is patient and kind but we will give an account no matter what reasons float through the mind. It's either good or bad deeds.
It is a new day!

A solid definition could be.......
- Some one wicked is someone who has a twisted way of thinking. In the passage the wicked are those who shed innocent blood. (wicked actions). Or it is used to describe something damaged or twisted. It is not quite straight or another word can be crooked. It has a slant to it. Or maybe even twisted up
- Righteous people are people who agree with God. It is doing things according to what God says is right or wrong. Ex: God extends mercy to the merciful (so I will be merciful). My actions is righteous and the passage says God loves righteous deeds.
